Anthony Weiner Twitter Photo scandal

[pocketfullofshells]

You also didn't go on the national media saying that you were hacked. He's a Congressman, his security is the business of the FBI, that's why he went to a law firm instead of the FBI. He did it.

yes if they hacked his White House Email system or something...its Twitter...its not like someone is going to bring down national security hacking twitter.

So far the whole basis of your argument is, if you don't report whats a non story that happens to many people daily to the FBI..he is guilty....Man if I am ever a prosecutor I want you on all my juries.

one time someone stole some CD's out of my car...I did not call the cops...does that mean I stole them? Or did I think its like 3 CD's and there is not much they are going to do , and I don't want to waste my time dealing with the cops over something I can replace for like 20 bucks or 5 min downloading the songs online.

Actually, it does. It indicates that someone is watching Weiner (if it's true, which I don't believe). It is the business of the FBI when an outside party actively interferes in the communications of a Congressman. That's why Weiner went to a law firm to stop the FBI from tracking the packets. The network doesn't lie.

Based on whats been reported...Weiner is not the target of the hacker...the hacker is watching and harassing the girl in question...Wieners account just happen to be what he used to do it...I am guessing do to his last name. And the fact he has someone looking at it, does not mean the FBI can't do anything...

And again you keep saying guilty...but what is he guilty of? there is no crime here at all unless you agree that there is a hacker...

Wiener said he did not SEND the pic.

Anytime a congressman makes a claim that he was hacked it is a matter for the FBI and he is OBLIGATED to report it. Wiener has no choice but to involve the FBI if he thinks he has been hacked in any way. We can't have our congressmen letting secrets out of government sites or even being blackmailed over stuff on twitter.

And yes it is pretty clear that Wiener had pics on twitter or facebook or wherever that could have been used to blackmail him if they had not been deleted or already sent.

someone hacked his twitter and put up a pic of a guys junk not even naked...thats hardly a FBI case..sorry.

Hacking into a US Congressman's Twitter account is in fact a case that the FBI should investigate.

The real questions here is why hasn't the Congressman asked them to do so...is it not important to him that his Twitter account (and possibly other things) have been hacked?

yes, we can't let terrorist get his twitter account...If the FBI really cares, they know about it, they can jump in if they want..somehow I bet they don't care at all...its twitter. Like I said, if they hacked his government Email or something..then sure...but hacking twitter to put up a pic, aimed at someone else...I hope to god they have better things to do...more so since if there legal team specialist in the area find anything worth anything they can contact them...but they will not..because there is not much here.

And again not reporting something so trivial to the FBI, is no basis for throwing guilt.

What is the point of telling the national media that he had been hacked, and then refusing to allow anyone to look into. If he was hacked, why does he not want to find out by who? If he was not, why is he saying he has been?

The point is not whether he did it or not...the point is that he (and he alone) has turned this into a story by handling the way he did.

 

[Gipper]

He is a left wing loon. That explains his behavior and inability to handle the situation...as far as I am concerned.

 

[nobull]

THE MAN IS GUILTY..not that I care...and for someone to hack his account, well that could be serious...

Well democrats better clean up their acts and come forward and tell the truth to the American people just like Beaver Cleaver did, Beaver Cleaver was always honest to his dad even he did something wrong. Democtats better learn its better to tell the truth to the American people then later some hacker shows the world what he did. Democrats better learn that honesty is the best policy than cover guilt up and then we found out the lies he told later.

Watch this

Now what did you learn about honesty and dishonesty?

yea because without him, I am sure the media would have just not covered it right?

And he has not refused to let anyone look into it...just just did not ask the FBI to...anyone with half a brain should be able to look at the story and just apply some logic and see that it was a hack job...do we really think he would be so dumb as to sit and take a pic of his junk and send it to a chick ( who again has said that she knew right away it was a hacker, who had been harassing her before) on his personal account knowing in a way that it would be visible for all to see? There is not a Republican in the house or senate that dumb in my view and I doubt even less he is. The only logical way to really believe he sent it, is to do so simply because you want to believe it.

Did we really think that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer would have regular "dates" with high-priced call girls?

Did we really think that U.S. Senator, Vice-Presidential candidate, and Presidential candidate John Edwards (D-NC) would misappropriate hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funds to cover up his affair and fathering of a child with another woman, while his wife was fighting a losing battle with breast cancer?

Did we really think that Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) would use his Massachusetts home as a brothel and flophouse for young homosexual men, and have homosexual trysts with male Congressional assistants?

Did we really think that Representative Gary Condit (D-CA) would have an affair with a young college girl and the girl would end up dead?

Did we really think that Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) would be involved in a mortgage scandal with Countrywide Home Loans, and be forced to not run for re-election?

Wow, there are so many more, but I'm sure I've made my point.

 

[PLC1]

Weiner is on CNN right now telling all. Seems he not only sent a crotch picture to a young woman, but he's been doing similar things for some time.

What an idiot.

 

[steveox]

SEE I WAS RIGHT!!! NBC,CBS ABC,CNN & MSNBC have forgoten all about Anthony Weiner. But what if this was a Republican?? Remember Mark Sanford eh?
